[quote=Anonymous]OP, yes, it sucks. I think the key is to go in knowing: I am going to feel sad around the holidays and this is going to suck and to just build in time to be alone and quiet and sit with those feelings. One of the things about the holidays is that is is melancholy for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons (deceased loved ones, being away from loved ones, etc.) So, it can be a good way to connect to others who are hurting (widowed grandma, friend who just lost a parent, etc.) it's not for everyone, but what has actually really helped me in not feeling so hopeless is reading stuff from women who are childless not by choice -- Silent Sorority is a good starting point. It just made me realize that my life is worth something NOW and it will continue to be a life with value even if I don't have the family I always imagined. [/quote]
